Romany director Vera Lacková uncover fates of five Roma partisans in the former Czechoslovakia on her own family background. Through interviews with descendants, those who remember, or with help of documents from archives Vera demolish the long-held stereotype of Roma as mere victims of Nazism. She wants to show Roma whose deeds go beyond the history of a minority ethnic group and deservedly form part of European history. During her search she comes up against deep-rooted prejudice, indifference and hatred towards the Roma community, both in the memories of those she interviews and during her search in the present. In a symbolic way Vera will try to rectify the historic injustice towards her ethnic group and her family by erection of a monument in a place where family of her great-grandfather was executed.

Filmed with truthfulness and authenticity over six years, a raw coming of age of four young men who were forced to be separated from their families at a tender age and grow up in a children’s home. They do theatre, train for a vocational certificate in cooking or welding, make friends, and struggle with family traumas and social exclusion.

In their small provincial hometowns in the Czech Republic, opportunities and motivation are in short supply – unemployment, discrimination, and poverty abound, leading to abuse, mental issues, self-destruction, or addiction. In scenes with their parents and siblings, we realise that they have grown up with poor role models, without social norms.

Pepa tries to pull himself together and struggle on despite his personal falls. His brother Milda sinks deeper and deeper into hopelessness. Bajdy lives with his mom and smokes grass every day. Pali used to run away from the children’s home to his family and he has two kids himself today.

Deprived of affection, protection, and communication, they long for love and struggle to escape their fates and make something out of themselves. Yet, assuming responsibility for themselves and their families does not come easy. Can they escape the inevitable and break the vicious circle?
